Hi,
I only got one shot of this, it was small maybe 3-4mm. 4th July, my garden near Lincoln UK.

That is interesting Stephane, we don't appear to have that family listed!
Is there any way it can be said for certain? I just searched the site and found the ocelli are surrounded by a dark plate, which this has!
I found a thread with a fly which looks much like this..

I found a Gymnochiromyia sp. which looks very similar...

It appears that Gymnochiromyia has only 4 bristles on the scutellum, mine looks to have more. It does look to have anterior incurved orbital bristles though.
